ADHD counseling

For teachers and educational professionals

Are you a teacher, teaching assistant, or educational professional at a school and looking for support in dealing with students with ADHD? Then you've come to the right place. Almost every classroom has inattentive, easily distracted, impulsive children with an extraordinary need for movement. These children often disrupt lessons to such an extent that teaching becomes a pedagogical challenge. This is because a child with ADHD has specific needs that, at first glance, are not easily integrated into the classroom. Teachers have repeatedly told me how challenging it can be to meet the individual learning needs of all the children in the class, in addition to the needs of the children with these very specific requirements.

During my time working in the school psychological service, I advised numerous teachers on ADHD and how to deal with affected children. It is helpful to understand both the specific characteristics these children exhibit, as well as their individual behavior and the environmental factors that influence it. Many teachers asked me how they can promote focused work in the classroom and respond appropriately to hyperactive and impulsive behavior.

The aim of this consultation is to encourage you as a teacher and to provide you with strategies for effectively supporting children with an ADHD diagnosis in the classroom. For example, you will learn how to promote focused work in class and how to deal constructively with hyperactive-impulsive behavior.
